May Lent bring you as much patience as whoever is working Bedford council's social media

Someone is clearly afraid of Beowulf, or has been listening to Cornelius Vanderdecker telling tall stories. 3:O)>

@Cadbury_Moose It is Facebook as well so you somewhat expect the reactionaries to be more common there.

@marnanel

@floppyplopper @marnanel yes and no. Mostly no. Most of it comes from observation and the underriding reasons Brexit succeeded, Reform's popularity etc. Not just meaning solely white people being racist either.

@marnanel Glorious!

@marnanel It is, however, shocking that Bedford council's social media presence is not aware the Ramadan is set by one of several sighting committees, rather than directly by the creation of the moon.
My knowledge of current Islamic theology is insufficient to suggest which sighting committee holds for which communities. It is however probably safe to assume that Bedford Borough Council does not hold authority over the Saudi Arabia sighting committee, which is often recognized and almost always considered.

@marnanel This is the proper way to respond to fools.

@marnanel

@Tallish_Tom @Tooden @marnanel a bigotbot

"Bedford Borough Council holds no authority over the Council of Nicaea and was not responsible for the creation of the moon 4.53billion years ago."

@marnanel naturally, I wonder about the timeline in which the Bedford Council *does* control the Nicaean Council and the creation of Luna. Unless that *is* our timeline. Remember, accusation == confession.

@marnanel That's the kind of response I like, full of humor and composure, politely putting a bewildered person who is looking for provocation in their place.

@marnanel Also, Great Britain wasn't a Christian country "first".

(I know, I know, I'll find the exit)

my car keeps turning right

@passenger @EF @marnanel
i'd just tell her she's not a real person and see if she blows up

@passenger @EF @marnanel
hmm, i've gone straight for the car related puns on her name when i could have assumed tyers was a reference to yiffing

@EF @marnanel Always has been.

@lunarloony @marnanel Lunar, understand you said what you have but it is far more blatent now. Never seen so much open hostility as a norm either or self-entitlement.

Love not war.

@marnanel Yes, people are actually that thick.
